Product Details

CI have hit the nail squarely on the head with the Sampler; it's the perfect board for most regular guys surfing in the majority of waves we actually surf in.

The Sampler has its roots in the Dumpster Diver flat, and has a flat entry and centre rocker, and ample curve out the tail, this means you've got a board that you can actually turn, sit in the pocket and enjoy. The generous single concave runs the whole length of the board, with a slight double within the single between the fins. There's a little vee to provide kick off the tail. The full outline in the front half of the board, with an exaggerated and slightly forward of normal Merrick hip, and a wide old-school squash tail gives the surface are to cruise over poorer sections whilst keeping the speed up so you can still hit the lip. The Sampler is suitable for every level of surfer who has to go and surf less than perfect conditions on a regular basis! It sits between your groveller and your shortboard and for lots of surfers will act as a one board quiver. Surf it 2 inches shorter and a little thicker than your shortboard. Comfortable in a wide range of conditions, the Sampler relishes less than perfect surf and has all the tools to cope with solid sets when they roll through.

Designed with input from Dane; it’s a true 'everyman's' board which fills a void in the Channel Islands stable. Artisan construction and the finest materials available keep the Sampler at the top of the pecking order amongst its peers.

Usually when i read 'really fast board,great paddler/wave catcher' i think, well, no one is going to write 'this board is slow as sh1t and hard to catch waves'. However, this really is a fast board, you can feel it accelerate as soon as you take off and it's a great paddler. The hype can be believed.
